A review by Tania Herrero for Cultura y Sociedad described the performance as follows: “Trees as columns in a cold-ground landscape. How far we have come that we prefer to deceive our senses with the peace projected on screen, barely reflecting on the present moment. Repetitive, circular movements, heightened by the performer’s poetics—an unbroken flow or sharp, fragmented gestures—passed through the body, where restrained physicality surfaced, posing questions to the audience.”

Electra Untitled is a feminist/queer adaptation of the greek tragedy of Sophocles; Electra. Dance, puppetry and visual storytelling reconstruct Electra’s story, which she owns and rewrites through the lens of female gaze. Electra becomes a modern antihero; tangled in violence that runs for generations of patriarchal suppression.

The performers transform the stage to retell the ancient myth and address Electra’s archetype to its core researching a feminist re-looking of the character and the tragedy as a whole. Electra Untitled adds a modern twist to an old narrative and brings forward the role of women who provoke change in times of hostility and dissolution.

‘A video journey through the seven stages of grief for a time that once was. The expansion of time in a confined space, devoid of physical connection, allows us to reflect on the stage that has passed. The only glimmer of light from the idea of ​​life that was or was-to-be is now seen through internet cables and monitors. The abyss of the unknown and of when we will be able to embrace again.

This work reflects the protagonist’s descent through the seven stages of grief, in collaboration with different artists and their mediums. These thoughts and feelings are explored through movement in this confined space we inhabit.’

In an Icy land of ruins, a human being and a polar bear are meeting in an encounter of surviving the Anthropocene Era. “An Ice Thing to Say” blends Ice installation, music, movement and puppetry to explore our impact upon nature and compassion as a catalyst for change.

Drawing on inspiration from Erich Fromm’s book ‘To Have or to Be?’ and Ecoscenography, we invite the audience into a multi sensory experience of our inner and outer icy landscapes. We attempt to challenge the idea that the human being is at the centre of the world and we attempt to construct an embodied inquire into ‘what has gone wrong?’

It was presented at the Reykjavik Fringe Festival 2020 (live, online) and at The Cockpit Theatre as part of Talos Science Fiction Theatre Festival 2020 (on demand).
